Ward earned a Pro Bowl nod last season, but we chalk that up to name recognition. He struggled at times, finishing as the league's 131st-ranked safety out of 170 eligible players, per Pro Football Focus. Ward tallied two picks, a pair of sacks and 74 combined tackles after signing a four-year, $22.5 million deal.

Seventh-year safety David Bruton figures to take Ward's spot in the lineup for a defense still filled with talent.
